I started a job and got fired from it...What now?

Question

I started a job on a Monday. Everything was going well, or so I thought. Tuesday morning, my boss calls me into his office and tells me that 'it's not going to work out, we're going to let you go'.

Here's why:

~Monday, the HR lady called me up to get my SS card and DL. I hand them to her and she looks at it and starts giving me s*** because i don't have a middle name. "why don't you have one? why didn't your mother give you one? You HAVE to have a middle name!! What's your mother's name? Why do you have the same name as her? (I'm a junior.) What's her Maiden name? Her maiden name shall now be your middle name! (who made her the official middle name giver!!) "

~Then, she asks me for 'my other picture i.d'. I look at her puzzled and ask why she needs another pic i.d. when she has my SS card and DL. She says that I MUST need one. I ask why, and she says: Oh! are you a citizen here???!!

(By this point I could tell she had it out for me.)

She proceeds to call my previous job, who layed me of months ago and where i thought i left on good terms, and starts asking about what i did there. The HR lady from my previous job says all i did was answer phones and that everything i put on my resume is a lie! The new HR lady, thrilled, tells my boss that she did some checking up on me and tells him that I'm a liar. Obviously, he believes her and fires me.

So here are my questions:

~How will this affect my unemployment?

~How much does that job have to pay me if i was there all of Monday(8 hours) and was fired within the half hour on Tuesday?

Important details:

~I live in California

~I did NOT LIE on my resume. In fact i had someone from the company that layed me off help me make it look nicer after i got layed off

~Yes, I am looking for a job (i'm just extremely discouraged now) but I do have concerns with my current unemployment.

Answer 1

Your unemployment should get reinstated with no problem.

The new company has to pay you for the time worked.

Answer 2

How will this affect my unemployment--> not at all do not mention that job  1 day is not much time

How much does that job have to pay me if i was there all of Monday(8 hours) and was fired within the half hour on Tuesday?--> two days salary, you got fired on tuesday when you attended the day

there is no need to be discouraged its part of life , you should have your motivation from inside not from outside no body can make feel you inferior without your permission

I think its good that you got fired its time for you to find a better job, the way you described the people seems like they are stupid people & its better to leave such company

Answer 3

That sounds horrible.  Find out if you can take some legal action against your employer and/or the previous one.  I've heard it's illegal at least in some states for the prior employer to say something to cause you not to get a new job.
